The job
We have a seasonal need for additional labor during the winter months when livestock must be maintained in confinement due to the unavailability of pasture. The period of need is from November to March. During this time, cattle and sheep require significantly increased labor compared to other times of the year. Feeding shifts from grazing to the daily preparation and distribution of mixed rations and stored feeds, bedding must be applied and maintained more frequently, and pens require regular cleaning to ensure proper sanitation. Livestock must also be closely monitored in confinement for signs of illness, injury, or weather-related conditions, requiring more frequent observation and care. While livestock are maintained year-round, during non-winter months animals are primarily on pasture, which reduces the level of labor required for feeding, watering, cleaning, and monitoring. The employer maintains a smaller, permanent workforce sufficient for normal operations; however, this workforce is not adequate to meet the increased labor demands during the winter confinement period. Therefore, additional temporary workers are needed to perform these time-specific, labor-intensive duties to ensure proper care and maintenance of the herds.

Employer will offer free transportation to town for personal services (i.e. banking, groceries) at least once per week for non range workers.
Transport: The employer will pay the worker for reasonable costs incurred by the worker for transportation and daily subsistence from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer, whether in the U.S. or abroad to the place of employment (inbound/outbound). The employer will permit workers to select any means of transportation they choose and reimburse workers at no less than the most economical and reasonable common carrier transportation charges for the distances involved.
